This version of ALT0 would work in slot 8:

ALT0a: ... that Miguel Rivera sold cosmetics and appliances while riding horses?

-- RoySmith (talk) 13:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith: Not sure if that would work as it sounds like he was a seller while on a horse. The selling and racing horses were separate. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:22, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But that's exactly the point. That's what makes it quirky. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your suggestion. However, that would make the hook misleading and inaccurate in my opinion. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:38, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
